In 2013 I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease. "When diet is wrong medicine is of no use. My health was declining quickly and I was a mere 22 years old!

After reversing my own Crohns Disease I set out to help IBD patients to reverse their disease with a few simple steps. When diet is correct medicine is of no need"

I learned this principle first hand after visiting dozens of specialists and doctors over the course of 3 years trying to get to the bottom of my disease ridden body. I had had more MRI's, ultra-sounds, colonoscopy's, blood tests, and consultations than I could count and I wasn't getting any better. That's when I decided something had to change and I wanted to take matters into my own hands. After thousands of hours of reading, studying and exploring I found the world of nutrition and health. Within 2 years my journey had created a miracle: healing. I was free and no longer in pain. My quality of life improved dramatically and I have never been happier. Knowing this, I couldn't stand idly by and watch so many of my friends and family suffer from the same diseases I had. That is when I decided to go back to school to get the education necessary to spread this beautiful world of health. Currently in the middle of my Master's program, I want to open a discussion of over-all wellness that will help bring others the healing that I found. Using data, science and true nutrition principles I can teach you to get rid of those sleepless nights, chronic migraines, bloated stomach and more.

Going out to eat can be stressful when you eat healthy. Are there seed oils? Is anything fresh? Do they use organic ingredients? Is it vegan junk? Are they being honest about their quality or ingredients? So for the most part we don’t go out to eat. However…….. there are a few amazing places that I trust 100%. is one of them. Their quality is amazing. The food is real and you walk away feeling so good. I’ve never not been impressed with the food I’ve had and can’t wait to have more. Now if we can just get them to open up shop in Utah… 😉

2024 has been the absolute best year! So many blessings, so much goodness, so many opportunities, so much growth and more happiness than I could have ever imagined. Praise the Lord! 🙏🏼😊❤️ We just got back from a long break in Puerto Rico and boy did I need it! Here’s where I get to the educational part…

I wore a 2 piece swimsuit the whole time. 😳😮🫢 My whole life I tried to be modest and hide my stomach when wearing a bathing suit. I also spent my whole life vitamin D deficient! Once learning how important vitamin D (aka the sun) is and learning the sun absorbs best in the stomach area, I decided to leave my fears behind and spend time with my stomach exposed to the sun. Turns out data backs this up, stomach exposure to the UVB light boosted gut microbe significantly in one study. It has also been shown to boost immune system and help with calcium absorption. I can attest to all of these benefits as well as improved mood and much higher vitamin D levels! Even if you aren’t comfortable going out in public exposing your stomach, go in your backyard or lift up your swimsuit for 20-30 minutes to get some good UVB exposure. It’s well worth it.

Oh and ps. Puerto Rico was amazing and I was so proud of this picture .gundersen snapped of me on the beach. 😍 It feels amazing to be in my 30s and still wearing the same size that I did in high school. My hard work has been paying off.

🌟 The Sweet Benefits of Dates 🌟

Did you know that dates are nature's little powerhouses of goodness? Not only are they a tasty and satisfying treat, but they also offer a range of health benefits that make them a perfect addition to your diet. Here's why you should consider adding dates to your daily routine:

💚 Nutrient-Rich: Dates are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and iron. These nutrients can help support overall health and vitality.

🚀 Natural Energy Boost: Need a quick pick-me-up? Dates are high in natural sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose, making them an ideal energy snack. Say goodbye to those mid-afternoon slumps!

🌿 Digestive Health: Dates are a great source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and can help prevent constipation. Keep your digestive system happy with a handful of dates.

💖 Heart-Friendly: Research suggests that dates may have a positive impact on heart health. They're rich in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and their fiber content can support cholesterol management.

🧠 Brain Fuel: The natural sugars in dates provide a quick cognitive boost. Plus, antioxidants found in dates may protect brain cells from damage and promote mental well-being.

Remember, moderation is key. Enjoy dates as a wholesome addition to your diet and explore the many ways you can incorporate them into your meals and snacks. Your taste buds and your body will thank you! 🌴🌰

Do you make your own food? A recent survey found that 63% of Americans eat out 2-3 or more times a week! People spend an average of 10k a year eating out. You guys!!! That’s insane. That’s enough to buy a car in cash. Can you imagine all of the oils, preservatives, toxins, carcinogens, etc. that you get when you go out to eat. It’s not only cheaper but also way healthier to make your own food from scratch. It doesn’t have to be hard! A smoothie takes under 2 minutes to make. Can we make a commitment to spend less on eating out and more on eating real food at home? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I didn’t sleep the entire night before I spoke at this virtual conference last week… and I was exhausted!! But once I started speaking I couldn’t help but get all excited and geek out about the nutritional studies and biological data. I got to share true knowledge about health that left every one of us who was gathered together to feel more the energy. When truth is presented it just resonates. You know? Your spirit leaps within you and is like “yesssssss! This is it. This is right”. That’s how I feel about eating a real food plant diet. My spirit is like “yup. This is truth”.

I’m not so prideful to think I’m absolutely right on nutrition and everyone else is wrong. I’m open to being wrong and going back to eating meat at any time. I pray daily to know if I’m on the right track. I read all the conflicting studies and data to see if it’s compelling and done correctly. But every-time I consider it, my spirit and quite frankly the spirit of God says to me, come on you know better. Truth resonates and that’s one of the main reasons I know that the route I’m on, is from God and is right for me.

When you’re conflicted and confused. When you are swayed by naysayers or data that challenges your viewpoint, don’t be scared. Take a moment of introspection, does it resonate and feel right? Does the spirit confirm it? If not, maybe you need to look at changing things. If it does, move forward with your head held high and realize that you are on the right path.

Lentils are a WONDER food, especially when raw and sprouted! They are rich folate, thiamine, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese.

Additionally they are rich in Polyphenols which are antioxidant, anti inflammation, and neuroprotective. In lab studies, lentils stopped cancer growth on the spot!!

It has also been found to protect and reverse heart disease and diabetes.

Lentils should be apart of your diet!! Soak and sprouting them is best, but you can cook them too if you aren’t there yet. 😜 Who wants lentils???

Green smoothie. 🥬🥦🥒🥑🌿

No matter where you stand on your health this is something you can incorporate. Just add some bananas, another complimentary fruit or two and bam. I’ll tell you a few of my favorite addins for a smoothie.

🌱Aternating ANY greens: kale, beet green, spinach, watercress, purslane, romaine, butterlettuce, comfrey, etc. and put lots of them. I like to do a whole blender full.

🌱Add in my super nutrition foods, barley grass powder, alfalfa, spirulina, dulse, etc.

🌱 Alternate h**p, flex and chia 1 TBSP

Boom! You’ll have a smoothie like mine and you’ll be so incredible. Greens really do heal, no matter what disease or problems you have. So if you can’t handle salads just do a green smoothie!

Salads are SO good for you! We do a salad once a day. Why? Here’s a few reasons:

Vitamins: salads are a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as many of the B vitamins.

Minerals: salads contain minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Antioxidants: the antioxidants found in salads can help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of some diseases.

Fiber: a salad is a great way to get your fiber intake, which is important for digestive health. Fiber can also help you feel full after eating, helping you control your weight.

There are many benefits of consuming salad, including improved digestion, stronger bones, and a healthy complexion. In addition, salads are a great way to get essential nutrients like vitamins A and C and fiber.

No matter where you are at in your healthy journey, we can all benefit from adding a few more salads. Amiright?

Did you know that over 500 of your genes change within 3 weeks on a plant based diet? 500 GENES!! That’s unheard of. Nothing else that we are aware of can create that kind of gene expression, where positive and health promoting genes are turned on and cancer and other inflammatory genes are turned off. It’s remarkable! I chose to eat plants only for many reasons and this is one of them. Plants fuel our body with glucose. They cleanse our liver. They draw us closer to our creator by eating his creations. They bring us life and light. Plants are healing and the more you chose to eat in their raw form the healthier you will be. I don’t expect everyone to eat like my family, but if we can move the needle a little bit and get you eating more fruits and vegetables you will be so much healthier! So start where you are at and just add in MORE. That’s not so hard, right? 😉

Huge shoutout to for all the incredible things they are doing to get fruits and vegetables to more people. (Plus they threw an awesome party last night 🤩🎊) I don’t consider myself an “influencer” and I don’t push products because that’s just not me. But, Ruvi is life changing. 9/10 people in America don’t get the recommended fruit and vegetable intake in a day. That’s sad!! Most people aren’t going to eat the amount of raw organic fruits and vegetables my family eats, then what? Ruvi has bridged that gap for so many people! People who wouldn’t otherwise be getting fruits and veggies can have access to them in a way that is easy and manageable. Just pour it in water or in a smoothie and you’re golden. I can’t wait to see what big things does here in the future! Thanks for having us last night. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
